Central Powersports Distribution has signed an agreement with AJP Motorcycles to become the new U.S. Importer and Distributor. "AJP fits our current business model quite well,” notes CPD’s head honcho Mark Berg from the company's new campus deep in the heart of Texas. “AJP will be sending us some units to display at AIMExpo and test in January. We have already placed an order for our first container mix to arrive in April/May of 2023. The first container will include the PR7, SPR240, SPR240 EX, and the SPR250, 310, & 510 for a wide selection of reliable trail bikes for CPD dealers to have on their showroom floors."
AJP Motos in Portugal has been producing motorcycles since 1987 when Enduro legend Antonio Pinto designed and built a 125cc 2-stroke. Throughout the years, AJP has transformed into durable, reliable, and cost-effective 4-stroke trail bikes. AJP now offers a full range of enduro-leisure motorcycles, from the beginner-friendly SPR240 to the adventure-ready PR7 650.
Jeff Schlagel of Moto AJP USA, the previous importer, has agreed to continue handling AJP until the end of February 2023, while CPD continues its efforts to transfer their offices to Texas permanently. “We appreciate the efforts and growth that Jeff gave AJP here in the USA during a difficult import period the last 2 years,” adds Berg. “We hope we can continue to grow the brand off of his passion and efforts.”
“AJP MOTOS is very pleased with the agreement established with CPD and looks forward for the opportunity to expand in the US market with such an experienced and trusted company,” says Antonio Pinto of AJP. "We are thankful for all the effort performed by Scott and Jeff in the past to launch AJP products in the US and look forward to Mark and his great team further developing AJP business in the US. We believe that our bikes will fill a space that no manufacturer is looking at right now."
CPD currently imports and distributes several notable brands, including Rieju, Electric Motion and SWM. Viral Brand goggles were recently added to the CPD family of aftermarket brands already in distribution, along with Funnel Web Filters, S3 Parts and Trickbits protection parts. CPD will continue to add more aftermarket segments specific to off-road; more announcements are to come on the aftermarket and OEM side for CPD. See them in AIMExpo Booth #2038
